Back during the Buddy Holly recording days, the amplification was done using tube-type amplifiers. Do you or anyone else know why the tube-amps sound better? Some of the most expensive audiophile equipment today use tubes in their amplifiers. What was so good about them, other than watching them glow once they warmed up? One has to wonder what is taking so long on this ADS sale. I wonder if Eastman Kodak could be a potential bidder - aren't they involved in digitizing movie films? Seems like buying ADS for their DST line would be a drop in the bucket for Kodak.

One more OT. Music is interesting the way the Technology changed the Art. Remote control technology and "instant" fast-forward allows many of the one-hit wonders of today to thrive. I cannot recall a CD released in the past 10 years that was entirely listenable. The primitive nature of turntables FORCED artists to make the ENTIRE ALBUM a good product. Pretty hard to fast-forward or skip accurately without a linear tracking table or getting off the couch.
